Biochip Array Technology
Exquisite precision in multiplex testing
Many years of development and the expertise of highly qualified scientists have gone into the creation of Biochip Array Technology (BAT) - a multi-analyte testing platform facilitating the simultaneous quantitative or qualitative detection of a wide range of analytes from a single sample. Biochip Array Technology provides a unique platform for assessment of biological samples in a rapid, accurate and easy to use format and users can have the utmost confidence in this proven technology.
A chemically activated 9x9mm ceramic biochip acts as a solid phase reaction vessel. Biochips are pre-fabricated with discrete test regions (DTR’s); a different antibody/oligonucleotide is immobilised at each spatially distinct DTR. Up to 49 individual DTR’s can be arrayed on to a single biochip with one biochip per sample used to generate multiple results simultaneously. This eliminates the need to run costly, time consuming and sample intensive singleplex Elisas.
The biochip detection is based on a chemiluminescent signal emitting light, without heat, as a result of a chemical reaction. The light emitted is simultaneously detected and quantified using a CCD camera.
Applications:
• Academic Research• Drug Development (CRO’s and Pharma)• Molecular Research and Diagnostics• Forensic and Clinical Toxicology

Multiplex Molecular Arrays
Precise diagnostics for targeted therapy
Randox Biosciences molecular arrays offer diagnostic, prognostic and predictive solutions across a variety of disease areas including sexually transmitted infection, respiratory tract infection, colorectal cancer, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
A wide range of assay formats are offered including SNP genotyping, pathogen detection, mutation detection and gene expression. These assays are optimised for use with the Randox Evidence Investigator semi-automated bench top biochip analyser, offering consolidation, speed and ease-of-use.
The assay is based on a combination of multiplex PCR and biochip array hybridisation. Innovative PCR priming technology permits high discrimination between multiple targets in a number of genes. A unique primer set is designed for each target which will hybridise to a complementary oligo-nucleotide probe spotted on a biochip discrete test region (DTR). This combination of priming and spatially organised biochip array technology enables enhanced specificity of the assay.
*PIK3CA Array for research use only
Rapid multiplex SNP genotyping is based on innovative primer design that can discriminate DNA sequences differing only by one base. Products amplified will correspond to target portions of DNA from tissue, buccal swabs or blood. Amplified regions are then hybridised to a biochip array with spatially tethered probes complementary to target amplicons. Each position on the biochip array corresponds to a specific SNP genotype and is capable of both multiplexing and determining the zygosity of the sample.
SNP Genotyping - Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Array
Pathogen detection, through nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) analysis offers rapid, sensitive, multiplex detection of viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens. Following nucleic acid extraction from a broad range of sample types (sputum, urine, swabs etc.), target DNA/cDNA is amplified in a single reaction and subsequently hybridised to a biochip array containing multiple pathogen-specific probes. This rapid, highly sensitive and specific process enables identification of primary and co-infections simultaneously, often in asymptomatic patients and has the capacity for use with many pathogen panels.

a GWAS study, for enhanced CHD risk assessment which incorporates a test to identify patients
predisposed to statin-induced myopathy.
Cardiac Risk Prediction Array
The KRAS, BRAF PIK3CA Array simultaneously detects 20 point mutations within the KRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA genes.
Whilst designed for colorectal cancer, the array has implications for mutation screening in other cancer types.

Companion Diagnostics
Randox Biosciences - your Ideal Companion for
CDx Development
Personalised medicine is the result of our increased understanding of human complexity and variability. It is now accepted that the future of the Pharmaceutical Industry is dependent on the development of therapeutic agents that are more closely tailored to targeted patient groups or sub-groups resulting in safer drugs with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and specificity, developed in a more cost-effective manner.
A key element to realising the potential for personalised medicine is in companion diagnostic (CDx) development.
Randox Biosciences are committed to revolutionising healthcare by providing class-leading diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive assays.
Building on these unrivalled capabilities Randox is engaged in companion diagnostic programs with a number of global Biopharma companies.

Custom Development ServicesRandox Biosciences customisation service which encompasses antibodies and human recombinant proteins has achieved tremendous success within the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. Key components of our custom service are our range of monoclonal antibodies as well as our recombinant antibody fragments (sdAb’s, scFv’s, fAb’s).
We have a specialised offering of Single Domain Antibody Fragments (sdAb’s) for research and therapeutic applications. SdAb’s provide a new mechanism for the generation of antibody therapeutics and offer numerous advantages such as better tissue penetration, ease of expression, stability and uniformity of product. SdAb’s also have benefits in traditional diagnostic settings, due to their small size, a much higher coating concentration can be achieved for assay development.
